To our dearest friends and family,

On December 20, 2025, we lost our beautiful and loving mother. Our mother was one of the kindest and most giving women to ever walk this earth. She was a single mother to four beautiful kids.

On April 26, 2019, she experienced an allergic reaction to a blood pressure medication prescribed by her doctor. As a result, she contracted Stevens-Johnson syndrome, which is a rare skin disorder. This causes severe burn-like symptoms, burning the body from the inside out. The recovery road was long and hard, but eventually, she pushed through, having weaker limbs and shortness of breath.

Strong as she was, sadly, on March 20, 2020, she had a severe stroke on the right side of her brain, which left her bedridden. Transitioning into this new way of life for her, as her children, we picked up the mantle, nurtured, and cared for her every need for the past 6 years.

Last year, on December 23, 2024, she had a massive stroke on the right side of her brain, which left her unable to speak and not able to use her limbs, requiring a tracheostomy tube to help her receive oxygen.

Losing our mother, Natalie, has left a pain we can’t put into words. She was our protector, our guide, and our greatest example of unconditional love. As we prepare to say our final goodbye, we are deeply grateful for every share, prayer, and donation. Your kindness is helping us honor a woman who gave her entire life to her children. Thank you for holding us up when we are too broken to stand on our own.
